When I first read about these cards, I assumed the Mantle would go for $200K or more. Will be interesting to see what this last day brings.

I found it odd that after Beckett graded these, PSA still made them headliners in an email about auction happenings to their subscribers.

Wouldn't be surprised if winning bidders had these re-holdered by PSA after is all is said and done.
PSA doesn't feel threatened by one offs like this.
Smart press to take the high road.
It's only a matter of time.
